I am trying to resell some foam panels and reselling them locally is not likely because it's a niche market, however they are worth $260. Whenever I look in to shipping them the cost is $160. The shipping container is 24"x24"x18" however the weight is only 10lb.

So I tested with reordering new foam panels -

https://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Panels-Studio-Soundproofing-Wedge/dp/B07D98BNBB/

The box for these could be no smaller than 12"x12"x24". On USPS they want $70 to ship this box. On amazon they will ship it for free with a total cost of $36.

How the fuck is amazon shipping for such an incredibly low rate that we can not?

Volume. Shippers give discounts based on your shipping volume. My buddy works at a warehouse and he can ship for $10 the same shit UPS quotes me for $50. Imagine how huge Amazon's account is.
